Lin Youning's face finally broke into a smile. She walked forward with large strides, took the fan from Suyi's hand, and sat by Mrs. Gu Sr.'s bed, gently fanning her.
"Aunt, is your health better?"
"It's just anger that's making me unwell, there's no actual illness. It's all because your second brother is disappointing," Mrs. Gu Sr. said, looking at the young girl in front of her, no longer showing the guilt of earlier, "A daughter raised by a Duke Mansion is not even as good as a common market woman, despite being literate. You are smart, I've always known this, but after all, I'm getting old and can't manage things for too many more years. In the future, talk to your eldest brother about anything, let him decide."
Lin Youning, knowing she'd leave the Marquis Mansion after her coming of age ceremony, didn't dwell on her aunt's words, and nodded with a smile.
